Graduation Monday

Today is a big day for Marshall, he will graduate from High School!  I knew I would not see him much today as they have a practice session to attend and then there is all the running around with friends.  My sister and I made plans to get some things done around the yard.  I had a big raised bed garden box to fill with dirt and so we set out to get a yard of dirt.  All day long it was shoveling and dumping wheel barrows full of garden soil into the giant box.  Plenty of exercise, right???.....I battled mentally with, "could I let it count" toward my exercise for the day.  I had a short nap in the late afternoon, then it was off to the graduation ceremony for the evening.  It lasted for 1 and 1/2 hours and afterward I was starving!  We went to Applebees for a late "snack" and by the time I got home it was 11 pm. I still battling mentally with, "can I count it?" or " remember,..30 minutes of intentional!"  Intentional won and I did 30 minutes of intentional Pilates and went to bed!

Sunday Walk Walk

Today we are having a BIG graduation backyard bar-b-que for the graduating senior and the birds were up early!  They are always up before the sun singing their little hearts out and when the bedroom window is open it always wakes me up.  There was lots to accomplish so, My husband and I got up and started to prepare.  I know I walked all day in and out, up and down, and all around the house, had I been wearing a pedometer I know it would have shown a million miles!  But, after it was all done, and a little rest time, I went for a walk around the neighborhood as the sun went behind the hills.  It was such a fun day with friends and family!

Saturday Walk

This is a very busy weekend, because my siiiiiister came in from Colorado.  Her nefew (my baby boy) is graduating from High School!  There is always lots to be done, when the "fam" comes to visit.  I did a neighborhood walk and lately I have using my Ipod to step it up a notch.  I find that my steps are a little faster when I listen to music and I find that some songs just make me want to jog a little!

Recumbent Friday

I am way behind on my postings again but I have notated on paper what I did do so I don't have to "exercise" my brain trying to remember!  This day was a recumbent morning, coffee and news.  Nothing too difficult, but then again, it does not have to be a major undertaking everyday.
